You don't entertain the possibility that not all spam filters are 100% correct or that no software is 100% reliable, given the fact that it's all developed by humans, none of whom are 100% infallible? > And, > probably more to the point, it's an extreme annoyance when you email > someone, and their crappy anti-spam software falsely classifies your > email as spam.

Did it ever cross your mind that the software might not be so crappy, but that the user might not know how to write filters correctly? I really get tired of people blaming the software, and yes, there is some really crappy software out there but a program that has been in widespread use for a long time has almost all the bugs fixed and ain't all that crappy. -- Bob Holtzman Your mail is being read by tight lipped NSA agents who fail to see humor in Doctor Strangelove Key ID 8D549279
